Cody Rhodes has achieved a remarkable feat in the world of professional wrestling! At WrestleMania 40, he secured victory against Roman Reigns, capturing the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship. This triumph was a culmination of his relentless pursuit since leaving WWE in 2016 and creating All Elite Wrestling (AEW). Rhodes returned to WWE at WrestleMania 38, determined to achieve what had consistently eluded his legendary father, “The American Dream” Dusty Rhodes: winning the world championship. Despite the odds stacked against him, Rhodes, with the assistance of Jey Uso, Seth Rollins, John Cena, and The Undertaker, emerged victorious, ending Reigns’ impressive 1,317-day reign as world champion12.
In this historic moment, Cody Rhodes etched his name in wrestling lore, proving that determination, resilience, and the support of friends and legends can lead to championship glory. Congratulations to the new Undisputed WWE Universal Champion!
